🌟Yiju Temple in Lin County, formerly known as Fotang Temple, was named "Yiju Temple" because it was located in Yiju Town under the jurisdiction of the county. The temple is located 26 km south of the county seat of Lin County, north of Zaogeda Village, Sanjiao Town, and on the west bank of Jiushui River. Yiju Temple was built in the Song Dynasty and has been rebuilt many times. Most of the existing buildings are from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It integrates religious culture, grotto culture, architectural sculpture, and mural painting, and has high historical and artistic value. In 2006, it was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. 🎫Ticket price: Free. ⌚Opening hours: Open all year round, no reservation required, you can visit at any time. ✅Location: 500 meters southwest of the intersection of 037 Township Road and 248 Provincial Road, Lin County, Lvliang City, Shanxi Province. 🌞Personal experience: Visiting Yiju Temple in Lin County is a profound cultural experience. The temple's architecture is grand and majestic, making you feel like you've traveled back in time to ancient times. Especially the Wanfo Cave Grottoes, although many of the Buddha statues are no longer there, the carvings on the walls of the grottoes are still exquisite, making you marvel at the craftsmanship of the ancients. In addition, the tranquil atmosphere in the temple also makes you feel peaceful, making it a great place for a quiet visit. However, due to the new construction in some areas of the temple, it lacks some historical sense of vicissitudes, but this also makes the whole visit more comfortable. Overall, Yiju Temple is a place worth visiting, whether you are interested in history, architecture, or religious culture, you can find your own peace and gain here.
